No feedback to TEAMS user voice request spell check spellcheck

Copper Contributor

There is no response for user voice feature spell check for Microsoft Teams here:

 

https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/18472327-proofing-tools-spell-...

 

and also no feedback according a lot of posts here.

 

Does anybody know how this can be prioritized? Microsoft ignores uservcoice and the quality of uservoice response is very poor.

Hello @BeDo1976   We apologize for the lack of information on this feature.  I have raised this issue to the Uservoice team and asked that they provide an update ASAP.

@BeDo1976 Hello, this improvement will start rolling out at the end of June and conclude by the end of July https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=65446

 

In case you don't have access to Message center I am attaching the info.

 

"Now, Microsoft Teams users can more easily communicate using multiple languages. Users who write different messages in different languages will now see spellchecking relevant to the language they're actively using when typing a message in the Microsoft Teams desktop app. This is a key improvement to the existing Teams Desktop Spellchecking feature, to make it "language-aware" and improve the overall Messaging compose experience for bilingual & multilingual users around the world.

 

How this will affect your organization

 

Now, spellchecking in Teams Desktop (Windows client only) will better support bilingual & multilingual users who write different messages in different languages. Spellchecking will default to the active keyboard language, and if the user switches keyboard language, spellchecking will switch to that language. If a user writes enough messages in a different language in a given Chat or Channel conversation, spellchecking will automatically switch to the relevant language (in this case, a user may see a Compose notification UI letting them confirm/revert the switch).

 

Note:

  • Message language auto-detection occurs client-side -- no typing/writing is sent to, processed by, or stored on any web server
  • This spellchecking improvement addresses some of the key UserVoice feedback about proofing in Teams; support for users writing messages in different languages is a significant request by bilingual/multilingual users and organizations

 

What you need to do to prepare

 

This is an improvement to existing spellchecking in Teams Desktop and Spellchecking itself can be toggled on/off by users in Teams App Settings > General. You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate."
